1962 Map of Hansford Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Hitchland Gas and Oil Field defines the industrial character of this High Plains landscape along the border of Texas and Oklahoma in the early 1960s. This survey records a workspace of modern extraction, where a vast network of pipelines and gas wells crisscross the terrain. Amidst this energy infrastructure, the remnants of local community life persist at the New Hope Sch and New Hope Cem, situated near the small settlement of Hansford Camp. The topography is shaped by the dramatic breaks of Hackberry Creek and the winding course of Palo Duro Creek in the southeast corner. Significant landmarks like Mount Holland and Lightning Point provide orientation above the creek beds, while an Athletic Field near the camp suggests the social pulse of this mid-century petroleum outpost.
